Day 8
Well I slept ok but I walked really late last night . Going to walk again this afternoon. I have a lot of work and school stuff to do and I feel very scared and inadequate. It feels good to be on day 8

Congratulations on day 8. Walking was the thing that helped me the most when i was first getting sober. If i felt scared or worried (which was often) i would go for a walk. It stopped me thinking as much and made me feel like i was doing something to improve my situation. I think your confidence and feelings of inadequacy will improve with more sober time. Try and have a peaceful day.

I woke up and read for a while. I walked for a long time, then went swimming, and I was surprised how strong I still am. Then I got a hummus and veggie sandwich for lunch with a big spring water. Now I have to read for the rest of the night and plan for my classes. A little stressed but I feel good today. No desire to smoke or drink. Sometimes I feel sad but I am learning to just feel it and let it pass. Being alone is ok with me right now, I need to find out who I am and what I want.

You're welcome and Congratulations! 
If it makes you feel any better I'm on day 370 and I'm having a chit day too. If you're breathing air, it's gonna happen. A friend of mine once said ....Life is hard. Its really hard if you're stupid.
I agree with that statement.
Stay Strong!

Day 8 is great, Acheleus.
Feeling inadequate - I can relate. I think that's our alcoholism, that spiritual malady that lurks behind the mental and physical aspects of it all. I am "restless, irritable and discontent" from my malady.
I'm glad you've found a home group - somewhere to belong, and get moving on working on that malady and FEEL BETTER!
